Photostory 3 – What can it do?
Steps to Building a Photostory 1. Import and Order your
digital pictures. Hold shift key for multiple selections. You may want to create an all black jpg in paint for intros and credits, but this is not necessary. You can do basic cropping, remove red eye, and remove black borders (not usually recommended) here as well, but any in-depth photo editing is better left to another program before you import. Select NEXT.
Step 2 - Adding Text
On this screen you can add text and photo effects. I do not recommend the photo effects, but text, carefully chosen and placed, may add to your project. Notice you can make the text appear in the right, left, top, bottom or middle of your picture. This is also a good place to Save Project. Remember the name of your file, and where on the hard drive you saved it to. Select NEXT.
Step 3 – Add Narration & Motion
On this screen, you can add narration and customize motion. I recommend you add narration first, as that usually will dictate how long the photo is displayed. Preview your narration. If you do not like it, you can delete it and start over.Click “Customize Motion” to select the motion and duration of your photos. You can add transitions here, as well, but I do not recommend it to begin with. Later, a cross fade transition may be desirable. Use the rest with caution. Select NEXT.
Step 4 – Add Music
Here you can add music by either selecting Create Music. Select your Genre from the drop down box. Then Style from the next drop down.Then select your preferred Band, Mood, Tempo and Intensity. This can take a lot of experimentation, but the default classical Amadeus, piano, sentimental frequently works well. IMPORTANT: After selecting music, be sure to REDUCE the VOLUME to slightly above LOW, or 1/8th of total volume. This will keep you from drowning out narration with music. Preview your Photostory. Select NEXT.
Step 5 – Export to .wmv Movie
Select “Save story for playback on computer”Browse to the folder you created at the beginning of this project. Select that folder. The movie file will be the same name as your project file. A descriptive filename is better than the default “Photostory”.Quality Settings are generally set to “Profile for Computers 2 - 640 x 480”. Save Project. Select NEXT.
Your movie, with narration, pictures, and music is created!
Keep music VERY low if there is narration
Can convert to AVI for DVD playing, but not in PS3 – Use MovieMaker2
Photostory 3 – Caveats
Use big pictures- You can shrink, but not expand digital pictures
Create a blank all black or all white picture for intro or closing text

Digital Storytelling takes the ancient art of oral storytelling and engages a palette of technical tools to weave personal tales using images, graphics, music and sound mixed together with the author's own story voice. Digital storytelling is an emerging art form of personal, heartful expression that enables individuals and communities to reclaim their personal cultures while exploring their artistic creativity. While the heart and power of the digital story is shaping a personal digital story about self, family, ideas, or experiences, the technology tools also invite writers and artists to think and invent new types of communication outside the realm of traditional linear narratives.
